Applets can also talk directly with javascript and vice-versa.Can you point me to a reference of some kind? What I have in mind is something along these lines: class XYZ (Applet) { void show(String elem_id) { Element e = getElementById(elem_id); e.style.display = "block"; } void addMenuHandler(String elem_id) { Element e = getElementById(elem_id); e.addListener(new MouseListener() { public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) { show("menu"); } }); } } That would be great. I would combine it with Jython so I can finally mess with the browser in Python. ;-)
Ok, I'm a big liar. The DOM manipulation stuff is only possible by having your applet execute javascript code. So the javascript is doing the DOM manipulation, not Java. Your original complaint is valid. It would be nice if your applet could directly manipulate the page. -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
